Things You Should Not Miss in Vegas
There's much to do and see in Las Vegas and visitors may find themselves at a loss when it comes to choosing just a few attractions. Still, there are some things in sin city that should not be missed by anybody stopping by, whether a golf player or not.

The Fountains at the Bellagio

Located right in the center of an 8-acre artificial lake, these fountains offer much more than just water splashes. Every night between 8 pm and midnight, the Bellagio fountains come to life in a show of lights and music that lasts 15 minutes. As the music blasts, the 1,200 fountain nozzles explode in a fun water show, sending water up to 460 feet in the air.

Legends In Concert

Where else but Las Vegas can you see over 20 celebrity singers all under the same roof. Impersonators at Legends in Concert will bring you the voices of Whitney Houston, Prince, Elvis, The Temptations and Garth Brooks among many others. There are dancers and a backup band, and all impersonators sing live. Located at the Imperial Palace Hotel, the show is presented in a small theater, where you sit at tables and have the chance to order drinks or food. The Imperial Palace also offers other shows worth seeing, including Karaoke Club, Matsuri (self-dubbed the "Japanese muscle musical") and Rockhouse.

Angel Park Golf Club

Las Vegas has many golf courses, some of which are notable enough to merit a trip to the city just to play here. The best example may be Angel Park, a 36-holes complex featuring an on-site golf academy, replicas of famous courses and amazing views of Red Rock Canyon. Located over 3,000 feet over sea level, this is a great place to experience the outdoors without suffering the heat of Las Vegas. Winner of several local and national awards, Angel Park Golf Club also features an impressive night playing option, with soft lighting around the course.
